A NEW PHOTOSHOP

I’ve been having fun relearning how to use Photoshop.  Poor George.  “Where do I find….?” Is the often asked question these days.  He’s been very patient with me.  If I could only retain what he tells me, all would be fine.

 I chose two pictures to play with.  This first one is of my grandma Mary Belle Harrington Barnum.  It was taken in San Diego on her first visit.  It’s a good studio photograph, but I wondered what the image would look like if cropped tighter.  I did that, removed all the little dust specks that I could see and increased the contrast.

The second photograph was taken just to play with.  For some reason, I am often drawn to the shapes of the Point Loma lighthouse in its landscape.         

I did much as I did with grandma Mary.  This time I straightened it first then cropped it.  I used the clone tool to remove many of the branches from the tree to the left.  I also increased the contrast.  I’ll probably go back and take out more branches before I am done.
